2003 Ford F250 Door Ajar


Crew Cab Lariat V10 Super Duty. The door ajar light and dome lights stay on all the time. A dealer had a computer hooked up to it and the computer says all 4 doors are shut while the door ajar light stays on. I have had the instrument panel, GEM, junction box and the driver door switch replaced with no result. Can you suggest where to look for the cause.

i usually find the problem to be the door ajar switch in the latch of the door that is least used. to repair it all i do is spray brake cleaner inside the latches to remove the dirt and oil then i spray the hell out of it with wd40 then open and close the door a million times. its either that or a wire rubbed through somewhere.

Spray the latches with a light lubricant such as wd-40.
